Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Dear Forever Person/Persons,
I know you've been looking for me, and I've been looking for you!! I've got my bag packed and I'm ready to come home! I even put on a fancy good luck tie just hoping it might help us find each other :) . I'm Jerry a healthy short-hair Chi mix! I love to sleep under the covers with you, and love taking walks! I require a special diet but goodness knows, I love to eat! I currently live with a bunny and we both like carrots! I am also good with dogs and cats. I weigh about 12 lbs, and best guess is that I'm around 10-12 years old - don't let my age make you question me though - I've got plenty of spunk and years left - you'll see! Even though I'm so excited to meet you, come home, and love you, I just ask for a little patience - moving from my foster to forever home could just take me a minute to get used to. I'm ready and excited to meet you, forever person! I love you already!
See you soon!
Jerry xoxo

Chihuahua Mix

If you’re looking to adopt a dog and don’t know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.

Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.

Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.

Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.

Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Hi I'm Jack,
I'm a really cute 10 pound Chi/Rat Terrier mix around 3 years old. I love to snuggle and play, I'm super smart and quickly learn commands. I'm even housebroken!
I like people and love to be the center of attention. Other dogs I can be a bit particular about. I would do great as an only dog. I prefer cats for chasing and barking at, which they don’t always take kindly to. I really haven't spe nt much time around kids, but think I would be fine around older dog suave ones.
I really am a happy dog and am ready to be happy with you! If you're looking for your furever dog I would love to fill the spot.

Posted Breed: Pomeranian / Mixed (medium coat). This beautiful young approximately 2 yr. old and 17 Lb. Pomeranian boy, Sailor, ended up in a high kill LA area shelter because of an of an animal abuse investigation. He was then rescued from the high kill shelter by Underdog Railroad. He will be arriving in Portland shortly to get settled into his Foster home. .
Such a sweet and beautiful boy who is on his way to learning to trust people again. A home with another canine companion would be ideal. Sailor will need a low key and patient home with no young children were he can continue to learn to trust.

You can do that now if you want to see about setting up a meet and greet with him once he has had a chance to get settled into his Portland foster home and is ready for visitors.

Posted Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet handsome Houdini. He is approximately 2 Yrs. old and 15 Lb. A Terrier mix boy. He was recently rescued from a high kill shelter by Underdog Railroad. He just arrived in Portland and his foster is still getting to know him, but it appears he would do best in a calmer home as an only dog, and in a home without young children.
If you think Houdini might be a good fit for your family and you would like to see about setting a meet and greet with him, the first step is to complete and submit and adoption application.

Posted Breed: Maltese / Mixed. I am a sweet and affectionate Maltese mix boy around 10 lbs. and 6 yrs. old. All I really want is for someone to open their heart and home to me and I will love you to the moon and back in return. Could it be you?
I was very neglected before being rescued by Underdog Railroad and suffered through a bad (non-contagious) skin condition. I am recovering well though, and really showing myself to be quite a handsome little boy.

Posted Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Hello- allow me to introduce myself. I am Mr. Jingles and am around 2 yrs old. I am in need of an experienced Foster or Foster to Adopt person who will work with me on impulse control. And, who can take things slow with me because I can be a little shy. Could you be the one to help give me a chance?
Although I look a little rough around the edges, I just need a little TLC to blossom into the adorable love bug I know I can be.

Posted Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). This small but mighty boy, Phoenix, is approximately 6 yrs. old and 9 Lbs. Possibly a Terrier mix? He has a nice mellow temperament and is such a sweetheart. He was rescued off of the streets of LA were he had spent several months fending for himself. He was in bad shape when Underdog Railroad stepped up to rescue and see to his care. He is on the mend now and so very deserving of a loving furever home.
Phoenix needs a Foster or better yet Foster to Adopt home to land in until his forever family finds him. If you have room in your heart and home to Foster or better yet Foster to Adopt Phoenix, please complete a URR application! Remember, URR sees to all a dogs needs while it is in foster.
To find out more about fostering for URR or about the URR foster to adopt option, please visit the Underdog Railroad Rescue website for details and to fill out an application.
Be sure to watch for updates about Phoenix on the Underdog Railroad Rescue Facebook page.
FOSTER TO ADOPT: This is a great way to get to know your potential forever dog and you are bringing the dog straight into its possible forever home, and that's always a good thing. You get to foster the dog with the intention on adopting if the stars all align. If URR and the FTA decide it’s a match, you adopt the dog! If you decide the dog is not the right dog for you and your lifestyle, we understand, and you would continue to foster until we find his/her forever home. The advantage of getting to spend time with your potential new family member is a huge bonus plus we provide all the pups needs while it is in a foster status. www.underdograilroadrescue.com/become-a-foster/
FOSTER: Want to help save a life. You don't want to adopt, but are happy to provide love, a warm bed, routine, love, a little basic training and trips to the vet and adoption events as needed. We pay the bills (leashes, collars, etc. Toys, food, vet bills). We are always, always in need of fosters. www.underdograilroadrescue.com/become-a-foster/

Posted Breed: Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen / Mixed (medium coat). Soft as a Teddy bear and just as huggable, this 44 Lb. and 5 Yr. old gentle Petite Basset Griffon mix boy is ready to settle in with his forever family just in time for the holidays. Could it be you?
Clive loves his walks and hikes. He would really like a furever home with a fenced in yard to run around in. Rides well in the car. Does fine with other dogs after a proper introduction. A smart boy with a touch of a stubborn streak. A somewhat goofy personality that you can’t help but smile at. He will need someone willing to continue working with him on basic commands and on some leash reactivity around unfamiliar dogs. Could you be the strong pack leader this cute low rider needs?
Interested in meeting Clive? If so, please complete and submit an Underdog Railroad adoption application

Posted Breed: Irish Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). I had a very ruff (excuse the pun) past so I am pretty cautious to new people. Someone cut part of my ear off, then threw me out of a moving car! That's why my name is Vincent, because I am invincible. I'm 2 years old and 26 lbs. I long for a stable home so I can finally just relax. I quickly warm up to folks who approach me in a gentle and cautious manner. With a little love and affection, I can learn to trust again. I'm ready to find my furever home- can you be patient and cautious with me? If so, I will love you forever. Stayed tuned as my foster family will be getting to know me to learn more about me.

Posted Breed: Miniature Schnauzer / Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet adorable Hurley! Hurley is 6 years old and around 15 pounds. Hurley was left at a local shelter on a freezing cold morning in a crate at the end of the shelters driveway. Hurley wasn't able to walk on his hind legs. The shelter took X-rays and found no broken bones or spinal damage and after some rest Hurley is now walking and he is improving each day. He is almost back to 100% and his gait is amost back to normal now. Hurley wasn't doing well in the shelter atmosph ere and needed a foster home and a rescue who could work with him. You see Hurley is a bit fearful at first when he is in a new environment and can nip. Its like PTSD really. Therefore we are working with him to get through his fears. Hurley will do well in a home without children or cats. He likes other dogs, loves walks and his squeaky toys. He is house trained and walks well on a leash. He does like to snuggle once he trusts no one is going to hurt him. A seasoned dog person would be best for dear Hurley to continue the training he is currently getting in foster.
